I bought this book, not knowing what to expect.On opening it, I was given various silly tasks, that I guess are there to offer a bit of fun into a normal routine.There's pages you can decorate / destroy / make poetic, and I think it's something good to do, if you have the time!

I think you'd have to dedicate yourself to this book, to get the most out of it - which is something I probably won't be doing unfortunately.My main negative, is that to decorate and stick things in, the spines just don't give you a lot of room - with a teeny spine, filled with hundreds of pages!

I bought this book after some of the girls in my class brought in their Wreck this Journals. Only one of them had a This is not a book and to be honest I liked the look of it more. It's longer, after all, so lasts longer, and you can buy it cheaper. I'm a perfectionist and hate seeing things ruined, so found this book a good way of letting go, but not to the point where I'd be snapping spines, jumping on it and throwing it up trees. The book is a great waster of time and I love it. If you're looking to buy one now, go ahead!

I saw this book in an art gallery shop but bought it from Amazon as it was considerably cheaper. It's just a barrel of fun. Think of something silly to do, and this book give you permission (should you need it) to do it. I recommend this book to all those who are tempted to take themselves and/or their work too seriously. :-)

I've only completed a few pages of this book so far, however I look forward to spending more time on it. This book is great for using you mind and imagination. Each page has a different task and it is up to you how you complete it. Perfect for anyone who is in need of something to do.

Check out Keri Smith's website and the Flickr groups for more info, and for examples of what is in the book.

I also have 'Wreck This Journal' by the same author and it is similarly awesome.

A great gift for a teen,fed up with having every scrap of paper in the house doodled on (regardless of their importance)I decided to find somewhere for them to doodle!This really worked,my daughter stuffs it in her school bag and the doodles stay in here as she turns to it when she is a bit bored.Each page is difference and sets a different 'challenge' or doodle opportunity so if they don't fancy one they can flip the page for many more.

A really good gift idea for boy or girl as this can be a tricky age to buy for it covers all tastes too.A real winner!
